Haslam not waiting for Trump
Thank you, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam for assembling a task force to recommend quick, practical responses to make schools safer in the wake of the recent deadly shooting attack in a Parkland, Fla., school and a teacher firing his own weapon out the window of a Dalton, Ga., high school.
The key words here are quick and practical.
That’s important since it’s clear that neither “quick” nor “practical” will come out of Washington.
President Donald Trump has already gummed up whatever energy Congress seemed to have been gaining to make incremental starts on gun safety reform. He did that in typical Trump chaos fashion – by creating confusion and whiplash.
